This year, Zenith remedied that with the introduction of the Chronomaster Sport series, which houses the most recent, most optimized version of the El Primero and introduces an ultra-readable ceramic bezel with an etched, graduated 1/10th-second display. In most watches that housed this now-famous movement, however, the dial was not designed to actually record these minuscule measurements in an easily legible way. The El Primero would become the cornerstone upon which Zenith would build its modern brand for many years to come. In 1969, Zenith made history with the introduction of the original El Primero caliber, which was notable for, among other aspects, its uncommonly high frequency of 36,600 vph (5 Hz), which in practical terms meant that its integrated chronograph could record elapsed times not just to the second but to the 1/10th second. The Le Locle-based manufacture still holds the world record for chronometry Observatory Prizes, at 1,565. Zenith has always been all about pushing the boundaries of mechanical timekeeping precision.
